CRA scam morphs into text message that wants your SIN

Becky McHugh of Corner Brook Newfoundland is one of many people getting a text purportedly from the CRA which when she clicked the link took her to a site where she was told to enter her Social Insurance Number. She did, and now she knows her identity is likely being stolen. Police say the most important thing to remember about the CRA is that it already knows your SIN. If you are asked to provide it, you can be sure you’re not talking to the CRA.
